Returns to the screen: Less than a month ago, after a period of rumors about his medical condition, the TV man revealed Yigal Shilon Because he lost his physical abilities in the documentary about him presented by Erez Tal. The film, which aired on Rainbow 12, revealed that following a fall in his home, Shilon has been confined to a wheelchair for the past two years and is unable to move around.
It was later learned that the veteran presenter will soon return to the screen, this time on the 13th network franchise.

Shilon hosted the successful 90s suspense show “Misses,” which ran on screen for 15 seasons from 1994 to 2008. One of the people most identified with the show, comedian Eli Yitzpan, imitated a wide variety of characters, and thrilled people in Israel and abroad. Now, Yitzhak will be the first guest on Shilon’s new show. The new hospitality program will pay homage to the greatest misses of all time.

As I recall, in Tal’s film about him, Shilon said: “I got up to pee, stumbled and held. I found myself on the floor and my head opened. I was all in blood.” As a result of the accident, he became disabled in most of his body, which, he said, made him feel very ashamed: “I hid, I was very ashamed. At the hospital they bought me a hat so they would not recognize me. I did not want people to gossip about me.”
